DANSK DS/ISO 27730 PDF

This International Standard establishes the specifications for the International Standard Collection Identifier (ISCI) as a unique international identification system for each collection, fond and (archival) series, and part(s) of collections, fonds and series. This International Standard establishes the specifications for the structure of an identifier and promotes the use of the identifier with regard to identifying systems that already exist. It also gives a list of recommended metadata elements that describe a collection. This International Standard does not specify the description of collections, fonds and series nor the relationships between collections and sub-collections. The ISCI is intended for use by organizations that manage collections such as libraries, museums and archives. NOTE The Dublin Core Collections Application Profile facilitates the description of collections, fonds and series in general by providing a core set of metadata elements for this purpose. These elements form the basis for the recommended metadata elements listed in this standard.
